Hi everyone,
It's not an easy post to make so I will be quick and to the point.
All monthly subscriptions and associated rewards will stop at the end of next month (april).
Early next month I'll unpublish all tiers, meaning no new patron will be able to subscribe.
Patrons who are currently subscribed will keep their subscription unless they manually unsubscribe. Technically you could keep your current tier forever but I wanna be clear that rewards will stop at the end of next month.
Speaking of rewards, the goal is to release both Triss and Yennefer by then.
All models will remain on google drive for now so you can still access them with the links you got. If it changes at some point, I'll notify it in advance.
The shop will remain as well and will be the main way to share my models from now on. I'll add more "older" models to the shop as well. Prices might evolve down the line.
Last but not least, I wanna thank every patron for their support. You're the reason I held so long. I'm sorry to end it like that and so quickly but it's been a long time coming.
Hopefully it will be the fresh start I've been trying to reach for a good while now.
PS, if you're wondering why, here's a few reasons :
1) I don't think current rewards are fair for patrons and I don't like that. No matter what I try, I just can't keep up anymore. Now that I extract game meshes and textures myself, model the face by hand and bake all textures on top of what I used to do (fitting outfits, materials setup, rigging etc.), the time spent on a model is just too much. I used to be able to make simple models in a couple of hours, now I'm lucky if I spend less than 10 times as much. Yeah the quality increased, but is it worth it if they're used for porn ? Probably not.
2) the motivation to share models is just gone. I see what people do with my models and while there's some really cool stuff, I mostly only see porn with naked models. For someone who tries to offer as much outfits as possible, it's disheartening. My renders try to reflect what I'd like to see but I understand that's not most people's cup of tea. I'm not trying to point fingers or making anybody feel bad about making nsfw content, I enjoy it as well to some degree but I hoped things would be more balanced I guess.
3) subscriptions rewards became a constraint. I recently played Syberia The World Before and loved it so much (Syberia series as a whole is awesome btw). I would love to do some renders with the characters but I can't because nobody will care about that, and with my current rate of releases, I can't have a "nobody cares" model.
